Nestle Toll House Releasing ‘Hocus Pocus’ Cookie Dough This Halloween!
Kenny Ortega’s 1993 Halloween classic Hocus Pocus seems to get more and more popular with each passing Halloween season, and this year we’re even getting official cookie dough!
Being released by Nestle Toll House this Fall, which is right around the corner, the Hocus Pocus-themed dough is oatmeal peanut butter flavored, and each pack makes 20 cookies.
Chocolate morsels and candy-coated gems are packed into the dough.
Thanks to Candy Hunting over on Instagram for the heads up. According to the page, this fun little Halloween treat has actually already begun to hit shelves, so keep your eyes peeled!
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
